Answer:

y  −  2  =  2  ⋅  ( x  −  30 )

The point-slope equation for the line that passes through the points (30, 2) and (15, -28) is 2x - y - 58 = 0.

How to find the point-slope equation?

The point-slope equation can be found by using the formula given below:

[tex]y-y_{1} =m( x-x_{1})[/tex]

Here, m is the slope. The value of slope can be found by:

[tex]m =\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]

We can find the point-slope equation as shown below:

The points of the line are given to be (30, 2), and (15, -28).

The slope of the line can be found using the formula as shown below:

[tex]m =\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]

m = (-28 - 2)/(15 - 30)

m = -30/-15

m = 2

Now, we substitute m = 2 and (x_1, y_1) = (30, 2) in the equation to find the point-slope equation of the line:

y - 2 = 2( x - 30)

y - 2 = 2x - 60

2x - y - 58 = 0

Therefore, we have found that the point-slope equation for the line that passes through the points (30, 2) and (15, -28) is 2x - y - 58 = 0.
